Venice hotel near Piazza San Marco

Hotel Nuovo Teson, Venice

A delightful Venice hotel in seventeenth century style - the Hotel Al Nuovo Teson offers two-star comfort overlooking a typical Venetian 'campiello' and just minutes from St Mark's Square.

Rooms are single, double and triple - all have bathroom with shower and WC, direct phone, colour TV and breakfast provided. The hotel has a lounge bar and front-desk services (open around the clock) include currency exchange. The staff here are happy to provided information about gondola tours, concerts, exhibitions, special events, museums and galleries, plus the best trattorie and osterie so you can get a real taste of traditional Venice. With so much to see, Venice can sometimes seem overwhelming - but the staff here will be happy to point you in the right direction.

Nearby sights in San Marco (Venezia is divided into six 'sestieri', or 'sixths', of which San Marco is one) include the Palazzo Ducale (Doge's Palace), St Mark's Basilica (perhaps Europe's most gilded, sumptuous and over-the-top cathedral), the La Fenice Theatre, the Palazzo Grassi and numerous important churches. The sights and sites of Venice are too numerous to list, but must-sees include the Ca' D'Oro, the Ghetto, the Accademia, the Rialto Bridge and Bridge of Sighs, and the islands of Murano and Burano. But ensure you make time for simply walking the narrow 'calli' of this extraordinary city, and for quiet trips along the canals.
